To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Withnail and I, Channel 4's '4OD' service are offering free downloads of the film. What are you waiting for? Go and get it while you can. Thank me later.

If you somehow need persuading, try downloading a brilliant clip from the film or, if you have that on DVD already - and you really should do - there's a two part interview (one, two) with Richard E Grant that needs watching.

(And yes, I know they're all in the wrong aspect ratio. What can I do about it? Rest assured that the 4OD download is not.)

Bruce Robinson, the screenwriter and director of Withnail and I, is the man adapting The Rum Diary. Safe hands.
